D5493: match: support rooted globs in hgignore

  Sorry, it took me a while to come back to this. I renamed the syntax to rootglob.
  
  I haven't handled your other remark, however I noticed that globs in .gitignore can be rooted [1]. I had looked for a precedent for syntax for rooting a glob last week without success. Now that I see this, their choice looks sensible enough to me, so I think I'll try that, as I think that'd be nicer overall, and easier to implement (and side-step your remark about abusing the glob syntax).
  
  [1] From https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore: A leading slash matches the beginning of the pathname. For example, "/*.c" matches "cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".
